“We went from paying $18,000 to $20,000 a year for plastic removal by a local waste company to selling our compacted bales to our pots and tray manufacturers for $8,000 to $10,000 per year! So… we paid for our baler in less than a year! Every time the baler runs, it sounds just like printing money. Thanks for delivering a great product and one that does exactly what you said it would! Very refreshing to deal with an honorable company.”

Our solutions are tailored to meet the unique needs of a wide range of industries:
A 60-inch vertical baler produces mill-size bales that meet industry standards for transport and recycling. These dense bales qualify for the best rebate rates, reduce hauling costs, and improve operational efficiency.
Start by considering the volume and type of material you process along with available floor space and ceiling height. Our team can review your operation and recommend the baler that fits your needs without being undersized or unnecessarily large.
Komar balers meet or exceed ANSI and OSHA standards. Each unit includes safety interlocks on doors, clear control labeling, and UL-listed electrical components to reduce operator risk and maintain compliance.
Yes. Plastic film and shrink-wrap can be baled, but they require more compaction force than cardboard. Heavy-duty or high-pressure models are recommended, and adding bale retainers such as floppy dogs helps prevent spring-back and ensures dense, stable bales.
Installation requires a level concrete pad, three-phase electrical power, and enough overhead clearance for the cylinder when it is fully extended during bale ejection. Site specifications should be discussed with your sales representative prior to purchase or installation.
Inspect hydraulic systems and safety features monthly. Komar offers a Preventative Maintenance Program with scheduled service at least twice a year, plus nationwide parts and service support to keep your baler running reliably.
Most facilities achieve ROI within 12 to 24 months by reducing hauling costs, improving operational efficiency, and earning higher rebates on mill-size bales.
Yes. Every baler includes a detailed user manual and access to Komar’s expert support team for troubleshooting, parts, and maintenance guidance. On-site training can be arranged upon request, and our service technicians are available nationwide for repairs and scheduled maintenance.
A 60-inch baler can handle cardboard (OCC), mixed paper, shrink-wrap, plastic film, PET bottles, aluminum cans, and textiles. Heavy-duty models are recommended for dense or springy materials like plastics and film.
Most 60-inch balers require a footprint of six to eight feet wide and four to five feet deep, plus overhead clearance for the cylinder when fully extended. Always confirm site dimensions with your sales representative before installation.
Produce mill-size bales that meet industry standards for weight and density. Using the right baler for your material stream and adding options like bale retainers can improve bale integrity and help you qualify for the highest rebate rates.
